The two grave markers shown here identify the final burial site for two men of the Confederate Army of America that fell at the Battle of New Hope Church near Hell Hole but the men died without anyone knowing their names. The Civil War in America had a lot to do with men fighting for their beliefs, more so than many of the previous or later wars. Not much has ever been made of the beliefs that American soldiers held who fought at Hamburger Hill in Korea. Belief had something to do with the men that followed General George Washington to fight at Valley Forge but it is a debatable point to argue if the men that fought in the American Revolution did so to sustain the fledgling nation or were they fighting for the privilege to follow their beloved general. The Battle at New Hope Church in north Georgia occurred 150 years ago this week and “Hell Hole” was one site of that horrifying battle between forces led by the Union General George T. Sherman and Confederate forces led by General Joseph E. Johnston. The battle was part of the Union Army “Atlanta Campaign” that led to the burning of Atlanta and later evolved into Sherman’s relentless march to the sea. For many native southerners today General Sherman is the living embodiment of Satan that these many people believe should have never visited Earth. General Sherman, of course, had a different view on warfare and the importance of destroying the enemy’s ability to arm, supply and to wage war. His view was to defeat the civilians and support for the enemy forces would disappear. The Battle at New Hope Church was fought over May 25 and May 26, 1864 with little evidence of a clear victor or loser. Historians believe that this was another battle that occurred while the Union Army moved south from Chattanooga after the Battle at Vicksburg had been decided almost a year earlier. Sherman had been given the rank of brigadier general and was ordered to Tennessee where he assumed command of an army of 550 men and successfully repelled an attack of 3,500 at Collierville. Later he held command of his army and two other armies at Chattanooga. After Chattanooga fell Sherman continued to march south in pursuit of the Confederate forces led by General Johnston. Sherman and Johnston challenged each other until they reached Atlanta when General Hood replaced Johnston. The Battle at New Hope Church occurred because Sherman had tried to out maneuver Johnston. A week before the battle Johnston had retreated to a site called Allatoona Pass. Sherman knew the terrain from when he was a younger soldier serving in north Georgia and he feared, if he attacked, he would suffer heavy losses. Sherman instead flanked Johnston’s position and moved south toward Dallas Georgia. Johnston predicted Sherman’s move and marched to New Hope Church to block the Union Army. Sherman underestimated Johnston’s forces when Dist. #100 Hires Energy Consulting Group By James Middleton With the most recent announcement by Com-Ed that indicated a better than 38 percent rate increase to begin June 1, energy conservation has become an even bigger issue for home owners and public groups. In part, a response to this led Belvidere Superintendent Dr. Michael Houselog and the District #100 finance manage Greg Brown to meet with a representative of Cenergistic, an energy consulting firm. The results of that meeting was presented to the Board of Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker of the Union Army was ordered to attack. Hooker pushed the Confederate forces back for three miles until he met Johnston’s main line of men. Because of this mistake, the fighting was intense on May 26 with both armies entrenched. Union forces suffered heavy losses losing an estimated 1,665 men while the Confederates lost only an estimated 350 men. The handto-hand combat and gun barrages were so intense, one area of the wooded battleground was called “Hell Hole” by those that survived. Trees and the natural shrubbery of the terrain was slithered into splinters by the intense gunfire. In addition to the deaths reported in the Union Army, the Confederates also took an estimated 350 prisoners that were soon removed to South Georgia and the “Hell Hole” that was the Andersonville prison camp. The armies receded late on May 26 and then reconvened in the fighting that occurred the next day in the Battle of Pickett’s Mill. That skirmish occurred near Dallas, Georgia when Sherman’s Army chased Johnston’s Confederates in a battle that stretched through the following day before retreat and regrouping occurred closer to Kennesaw Mountain near Marietta, Georgia. Historians claim that the Union forces suffered the greatest losses in the Battle at New Hope Church lost that battle. Though, because of far larger forces and better opportunity to arm and equip the Union armies, this loss was deemed a minor setback for Sherman’s Army that would later number more than 60,000 men a few weeks later when Atlanta lay in smoldering ashes and the march to the sea had begun. The national celebration of Memorial Day occurs next Monday, the last Monday in May. The holiday affords citizens a day away from work and a day to remember those that had passed before. For millions of families, regardless if they had a family member that served in war or the armed forces, Memorial Day is the one day each year when families will remember ancestors and relatives that had lived and died. Memorial Day is for many people a day of quiet reminiscence as memories of mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters will be awakened. Thousands of cemeteries across the nation will welcome color guards of veterans and those still serving that will come and pray and blow their bugles and fire their weapons to honor those that had lived and given their full measure for a cause from the past and died. Down through the ages many of those that survived and lived through the huge national conflicts that have marked this nation have thought they had a moral obligation to show their respect for those that had died. Memorial Day allows us all in quiet contemplation to ask, “Was it all not real?” Memorial Day this year is celebrated on May 26, Monday and an honor guard will arrive at the Belvidere Cemetery to allow any and all local residents to show their respect for the dead.

Education in their May meeting. The Board took action on the item and approved hiring Cenergistic to advise and consult with the district regarding energy conservation. Dr. Houselog introduced Bob Davis a regional executive with Cenergistic who explained how their program of energy conservation operates. After speaking with Dr. Houselog and Mr. Brown, Mr. Davis and his staff prepared an estimate of how their firm could potentially reduce energy costs for the district. The firm describes itself as an “energy conservation firm powered by technology, supported by data and driven by expertise.” The goal that Mr. Davis described for District #100 would be for them to become energy self-sufficient and energy-efficient. In printed material provided to the public and Board members, the firm is not “an equipment vendor and there is no up-front capital investment.” The firm was established in 1986 and, according to their claims, Cenergistic has saved their clients, “$3.3 billion in energy costs.” The firm also claims that their program of energy conservation benefits more than 20,000 buildings among more than 1,300 clients nationwide. Their specialty is to serve school districts, colleges and universities, healthcare institutions and ministries. The firm lists a number of Illinois school districts as clients, including Ellwood Park, District #401, North Shore, District #112 and Glen Ellyn, District #89, to name a few. The firm also lists energy savings realized by these clients ranging from 44 percent at Elmwood Park to 37 percent at North Shore and 23 percent at Danville District #118. Cenergistic also claims that they have saved Illinois school districts more than $72 million. The firm reports continued to page...2 2 May 23rd., 2014 The Boone County Journal 815-544-4430 Dist, #100 from page...1 that total savings among their Great Lakes clients total over $594 million. Mr. Davis said that the firm has been involved in energy conservation consulting for 28 years. Mr. Davis added, “Our program is guaranteed and no district we are associated with has lost money while using our program.” He suggested that the time during the day when his firm could save the district money is during school off hours. Part of the success of the program, Mr. Davis said, is due to the training the firm offers staff and students how to manage energy conservation. He then spoke of specific plans within the District #100 budget. “This year you budgeted a 12 percent increase and we estimate that increase could be reduced to 3 percent,” said Mr. Davis. He said that his firm had analyzed energy usage and conservation techniques employed by the district and they have created what he called an “efficiency track and we have identified 1,200 opportunities to save money.” The printed material also stated, “With Cenergistic’s technology, data, methodology and expertise, our clients have achieved energy savings of 20 percent to 30 percent and often much more.” The firm guaranteed to district administrator’s that the results would be verified by independent industrycompliant Energy CAP measurement and verification software, no costs were payable during the “Quick-Start” period, the first four months and if the district’s savings did not exceed their investment, the difference would be refunded to the district by Cenergistic. The firm also estimated that the projected first-year net savings to District #100 could total more than $185,550. Cenergistic projected that the cost for the program would be, in their words, “budget neutral” and could be funded from the current existing energy budget. Board member Robert Torbert asked what the district was now paying for energy usage. Mr. Davis answered, “You spent $1.1 million last year and you are budgeting for $1.2 million for next year. Your energy cost per square foot amounts to about $1.19 but most of our clients are spending in the $ .90 range per square foot.” Mr. Davis concluded his remarks by offering the district, “You are doing a great job and we can work as an efficient partner for you.” No further questions or comments followed until the matter came for final action later in the meeting. A motion was placed on the floor and seconded with Mr. Torbert asking how the refund of money to the district would work. Mr. Davis replied, “The quick-start program runs over four months. We’ll hold a pool of savings that will be guaranteed and returned. Before the vote Dr. Houselog said that the current counsel for District #100, Richard Van Evera had reviewed the contract and found no problems to report. In a roll-call vote that followed, approval of the agreement to create a consultancy relationship with Cenergistic was unanimously approved. CERT Graduation Day 2014 By Sherri Habben Overturned tables, debris, plastic body parts, and volunteer victims- this was the scene at Immanuel Lutheran Church on Saturday May 17th as fourteen area local residents from all walks of life graduated from the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). CERT classes are not new to Boone County. A group of dedicated and talented volunteers have been offering this class for over nine years. CERT graduates benefit the community as well as to provide support for local police and fire departments. The mission of CERT is to train people to help themselves during a natural disaster, to help neighbors and to help first responders. CERT is a part of the Boone County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) that is overseen by the Boone County Sherriff’s Department. Brad Bartell is the Boone County EMA/CERT Coordinator. The CERT concept originated in Los Angeles in 1985 when a group of firefighters traveled to Japan to see how they handed disasters such as earthquakes. What was found was that the community and first responders worked together to assist one another when disasters occurred. A year after their visit, the Los Angeles fire department chose to offer a training class to community members that would teach first aid, basic knowledge such as how to use a fire extinguisher to put out small fires, and techniques such as search and evacuation. Almost ten years later the Federal Emergency Management Agency added CERT as a standard program that would be offered to citizens all across the United States. Assistant Coordinator Fred Celletti along with other volunteer members of CERT showed passion and camaraderie while working together to prepare for the final training scenario, testing and graduation. “Most of the supplies, such as training kits which include flashlights, helmets, vests and goggles are for the most part paid for In Our 19th Year REAL ESTATE, TRACTORS & EQUIPMENT AUCTION SATURDAY, MAY 31st, 2014 RUNNING 2 RINGS BEGINNING AT 9:00 A.M.

The people in question seem to stumble through life lamenting what has been lost instead of to plan for what could be. Some stroll South State Street and fret over the passing of the 1950s, that lovely decade of lassitude when America seemed to be the “Master of the Universe,” but for those pesky Russians that are once again raising a ruckus. America in the 1950s was a decade when jobs were plentiful and opportunity was boundless for even the marginally ambitious. Almost anyone could earn a living even in spite of himself as labor unions expanded, markets were burgeoning and technologic advances were exploding. The horizon was very close and no one could find the end of opportunity. But oh yes, those days are gone now. Those days seem so far away and millions of American citizens wonder, “Where did it all go?” Other ponder, “Will those days ever return?” But aren’t those two of the fathomless questions that defy answers? There are so many questions today that remain fathomless to ponder and yet, perhaps the fact that the questions are fathomless might explain why few ask the questions and no one has the answers. For example, Illinois taxpayers have believed for generations that Chicago is the city and Illinois is the state with “big shoulders.” Yet today, those shoulders are sloping not because of the burden they carry but because of the loss of ambition afforded by living in a recliner. Illinois has visionary people, perhaps as many as are found in Texas, North and South Dakota and Wisconsin and Indiana. But those states boast a very different condition than Illinois. These states enjoy burgeoning tax surpluses. These states are so wealthy they are considering cutting taxes. But, in Illinois, the corporate tax rate is one of the highest in the nation, the state has the lowest bond rating among the 50 states and unemployment here is one of the highest in the nation, estimated at 8.4 percent. Illinois is also burdened by a $100 billion pension deficit from what legislators had promised to fund and Illinois continues to lag behind in paying bills with more than $6.7 billion owed. Still, the “temporary” income tax increase posted four years ago from 3 percent to 5 percent is now the pledged to become permanent if the incumbent governor is reelected. The state has become the butt of jokes among late night talk show hosts but even they are becoming bored with the condition of state policy. It is no wonder that so many Illinoisan’s are lamenting the loss of the “good old days.” Many would rather watch reruns of old 1950s situation comedies than to become involved with local government or to even show up at a meeting to hear what elected officials have to say. If more people attended county and city meetings perhaps elected officials would act more responsibly and work to solve these fathomless problems. But local, state and federal legislators ignore seeking solutions because they know, nobody cares. Many believed that passage of the National Affordable Healthcare Act of 2010 would favorably answer medical insurance questions forever. There are some leaders in Congress that claim this is the most obvious conclusion that any rational taxpayer should reach. Yet, it seems that with passage of the Act and implementation of the policy, healthcare has become murkier. Some in Illinois, including state legislators believe that the Pension Reform Act signed into law in December would solve the state pension tsunami. However, lawsuits arose and injunctive relief was sought and now a state appellate judge has imposed an injunction barring the Act from being enforced. That means that the current law continues and that means that the pension deficit will continue to climb with no end in sight until some mythical day when the constitutional questions are answered. So many people believe today that the questions of immigration reform, equalizing opportunity, managing the nation in a time when it is impossible to discern who are the allies and who is the enemy are unfathomable. But many people also wonder, between beers, “Why even worry?” The solution for most people here is to stay home, channel surf the TV, crack open another beer and watch some more basketball. Very few today are bothered that our culture and most citizens have allowed themselves to become inert in their apathy. So many groups here have succumbed to embracing ideology and special interests as their primary focus. Those that are members of the public sector labor unions have become so obsessed with protecting their pension, health insurance and job that they deny that there are any other considerations at the national, state or local level. The primary fear of most Americans is the loss of their job and that prospect overshadows all other considerations. Instead of focusing on how we as individuals can be of greater value to our family, our community and our country, we shelter ourselves inside our homes and ignore pervasive governmental and corporate spying. We are willingly accepting nameless and faceless people invading every element of our lives because of our overwhelming comfort with our apathy. Instead of working with elected officials to offer ideas and to be engaged in the process we stay at home, watch sports and wonder more if the beer in the refrigerator will run out, than to be concerned about bureaucrats and corporate employees who know precisely how many beers are cooling. The solution to these fathomless questions is for citizens in Belvidere to wake up, to watch elected officials and expect more from them. If people would drop the political homilies and become more engaged in how government functions, this community would be better able to find productive uses for the Leath Building or how to expand retail and economic opportunities in Belvidere or even how to diminish local unemployment. But instead of participating, few attend the City Council meetings. Often the only members of the audience at County Board committee meetings are media reporters or taxpayers that are required to appear to answer questions about something that they want. Citizens and taxpayers here can claim they are interested in how their government functions but the truth is, few taxpayers here give a damn and that is why Belvidere has such a high unemployment rate and no options for commercial growth. That is why Illinois cannot pay their bills or fund pensions and no one seems concerned about how these bills can ever be paid. Instead of worrying about any of this, wouldn’t it be more fun to catch some bait, grab the fishing pole and head down to the river? “Hey, wait a second, I’ll get my reel and meet you on the edge of the Kish, Opie.” LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Policy on Letters to The Editor Our policy on Letters to The Editor is that all letters must be signed and will be verified, profanity is unacceptable.

South Beloit, IL 815-389-1611 N EW AN D U SED • D O MESTI C AN D FO R EIG N In Our 19th Year Dual Credit Reconsidered By James Middleton In the April meeting of the Belvidere School District #100 Board of Education the realization of a goal that the administrators have held for years came up for debate. The question asked if the Board would approve the initiation of a dual credit curricula between District #100 and Rock Valley College. The goal was to offer Belvidere students the opportunity to attend college level classes late in their secondary education career. The move was approved by the Board but Superintendent Dr. Michael Houselog recognized the level of interest and concern expressed by Board members and a follow-up report was given in the Monday Board meeting. Board members were given revised figures regarding the relative level of interest among students to attend dual credit classes in District #100. Dr. Houselog and the administrator responsible for planning much of the dual credit curricula, Belvidere North High School Principal Marc Eckmann both reported that the probable course offerings had not changed. Mr. Eckmann said after the meeting, “What we presented were relative numbers of interested students. But, those numbers could change as students that sat for the spring ACT test will receive their scores and some might opt to attend the dual credit classes next year.” Dr. Houselog explained the status of the program by saying, “About 224 classes have been requested and we could have even more by the time of the sign-up.” He indicated that an even more precise report regarding the classes to be offered and the number of students interested in participating would be better known by next month. Dr. Houselog added and Mr. Eckmann later confirmed, if only two students, for example, sign-up to attend a class offering, that class likely might not be available. However, the numbers of interested students are preliminary and could be subject to change. Board member Robert Torbert asked where the process stands. Dr. Houselog replied, “We are gathering students and staff.” Mr. Torbert asked a follow-up question querying if the administration has a minimum number of students in mind for a class to be available. Dr. Houselog answered, “We wanted 20 for classes and during this first year we might work with similar guidelines. If we have from 12 to 15, for example, we would likely recommend to keep the class.” Board member Kelly Diamond commented, “Well, I think that this is a great idea regardless of how the plans come out.” Dr. Houselog added, “We can really tell a lot more about how this will work during the summer and the first 10 days of classes.” To stimulate interest in the dual credit program, Dr. Houselog also said, “We might move up the registration process to earlier in the year.” As a part of the meeting agenda, written material prepared by the administration also provided a layout of the status of the dual credit program. Last month the Board members engaged in debate over the arrangement that provided a greater number of classes and class options available at Belvidere North High School and fewer options at Belvidere High School. The layout of class offerings on the written material had not changed from the April meeting. Belvidere High School will continue to offer only three class options in the program and those class options include Psychology, US History and Composition I. If a student from Belvidere High School wanted to take a dual credit class in economics, for example, he would have to travel to North High School. Last month this requirement was expressed as an item of concern by Board member Stacy McGowan. In the Monday meeting, Ms. McGowan did not make any comment about her previous concern. The three classes that would be offered at Belvidere High School had, thus far, 18 students interested in psychology, five students in US History and only one student that had chosen Composition I. Many more options are listed at North High School that ranged from biology and composition I and 2 to economics, introduction to business and statistics, to name a few. The printed material identified a relative number of Belvidere High School and North High School students that had expressed interest in attending these dual credit classes. In addition to these options, there were others that some students expressed interest in taking covering a wider range of class type. For example, some students expressed interest in theatre, physics, microbiology and pre-calculus, if those classes had sufficient interest among students. Other options included drafting, art, and world geography and computer art. However, the plan would be to restrict the options at Belvidere High School to the three listed earlier while the wider range of options could be found at North High School. The dual credit curricula program was described by administrators as “a work in progress.” However, some members in the audience expressed their concern during the public comment forum at the end of the meeting when any subject could be addressed. This one speaker expressed concern with how the dual credit program is being created. www.boonecountyjournal.com A number of parents also expressed their concern at how special education classes are being offered. Often the most significant concern expressed was that curricula changes are being made without consulting with parents or to meet the legal requirements under Illinois law and policy of the Illinois Board of Education. The speaker that addressed his concern over the dual credit plans of the District was a former member of the Board of Education, Les Reid of Belvidere. He opened by saying, “Some things are not pleasant to hear.” He explained that he had sat for eight years where the current Board members sit and he added, “I challenge each of you here to draw your attention to a problem that exists.” He explained that the district could encounter, in his words, “a catastrophic legal problem, that of offering unequal educational opportunity.” Last month Board member Jason Colson alluded to such a problem when he expressed concern that his son, a student at Belvidere High School could not attend dual credit classes of his choice unless he drove to North High School. Mr. Reid continued by saying that parents are not getting correct information from the administration regarding special education. “The special education director here is not willing to provide this information to parents,” Mr. Reid added. He then itemized a list of legal requirements that he said were not being met by the District #100 administration under the law and in his opinion. Finally, Mr. Reid asked for Board members to sponsor an open forum to discuss with the community how to correct these problems that he listed. It is common practice during Board of Education meetings for no members to answer any questions delivered by speakers during the public comment portion of the meeting. The Board members silently listened but no member of the Board and no administrators offered any answer or response to what was said. With the conclusion of Mr. Reid’s comments two other speakers were heard and the meeting was adjourned so Board members could enter into a closed executive session. 815-544-2118 R.J.
